Love Is Alive

This wall-sized impressionist painting explores the recalled blooming hillsides of central California along with the unseen systems that sustain them. Structural resilience of the natural world is illustrated in the brilliant floral colors contrasting with the muted distant tones of mauve and grayish blue. Rather than creating a literal depiction of the blooming hills near San Luis Obispo, the artist revels in an impressionist style that alludes to the vibrant, rhythmic persistence of growth and the vigorous palette of summer in the coastal hills of California.
